Title: Real-time imaging of the plasma spray process: work in progress
Author(s): Brogan, Jeffrey A.; Berndt, Christopher C.; Smith, W. C. S.; Gansert, Robert V.; Raghu, Surya; Sampath, Sanjay; Herman, Herbert
Abstract: A LaserStrobe Control Vision system was employed to examine water-stabilized plasma (WSP), gas-stabilized plasma (GSP), and single-wire arc plasma (SWAP) technologies. Visualization of the plasma spray process in each of these technologies has been made possible, in some instances, for the first time. Parameter optimization for the three processes was accomplished. This technology has significantly added to the theoretical and scientific knowledge of plasma diagnostics and plasma processing.
